well i didnt but my little girl did......just dropped it off the sofa and wham gone....had a rubber case on and screen protector but that just stopped the cracks from spreading to only half way up the screen.
no insurance = oh dear what to do...so ive just insured it through me bank and hope i can get it fixed...but i sure am going to miss it while its away
ohhh dear
feel sorry for you but seriously people insurance is a must.
I hope your bank doesnt make too much of a fuss about you insuring it then immediately claiming.
personally I dont use a screen protector, I had one on for a while but I just got fed up with the extra reflectiveness and the edges being a bit raidsed (it wasnt a particularly good quality one but I havent heard much better about the more expensive ones)
I use the leather case it came with but somehow whenever I drop it, it never seems to be in. So far no smashed glass yet though probably thanks to a carpetted house. But I do have insurance in the event that it does happen.
anyway good luck with your claim and i hope it doesnt take too long.
yeah i hope so 2....i got to wait 15 days before i can claim so just av to go back to my omnia for now.ill give it a few week before i stick a claim in!
i know my little 1 wont be playing with it again though thats for sure!
my friend who works at the shop sent me this picture.
a customer droped it on the tarmac...
sad...
sorry, double post
Given you will probably have to pay a £100 excess you might want to hunt around for a repair shop. I haven't used them but you could try Undercutter.co.uk repair and return for £85.
policy covers first £30 for excess so hopefully not to bad! if i could do it myself with the right parts i would but i aint no expert!
Hey folks ! You really think it is wise to discuss insurance-tweaks in length here ? As with facebook, companies do a thorough search in funny places, also fora.
Maybe ask the Admin to del this thread ? Just in case .............
I broke mine too, looked exactly the same as the one above, (guy who dropped it on the tarmac).
I rang up my bank waited about a week after I insured it and claimed and only paid 10 pounds
Its all good now. They actually replaced the handset and didn't bother repairing it.

Unlike facebook people dont use real names on xda and there is a lot more identifiable info on facebook than a forum, there is really no way a link could be made from a forum post to an insurance claim unless they posted a lot of personal info in said forum post.

Anyone know if you can take out phone insurance from your bank in the U.S.?
Insurance fraud... Really classy.
Yeah, not the best thing, although I really need to take insurance as I've been risking it for four months so far...
For future, all I can recommend is a phone-wallet like this: I never like cases but at least this way, I feel it's serving a double purpose, and it's protected in all cases.
Personally I love it, and it was £4 off ebay.
Anyway, good luck to all

I think the OP is saying he just bought new brand-name glasses, put them on, and immediately saw a pile of gorilla **** on the floor. The smell was so strong that the OP's eyes started getting wet. The OP then pulled out a 200EUR bill to dry his eyes. A passer-by with an SGS2 took a picture of that whole situation. That made the OP cry even more. The OP is here now, trying to ask that SGS2 owner to submit still photos.

From what I see he is mad about his gorilla glas on the Galaxy S II, because it broke very fast and apparently it costs 200 euro to repair/replace.

+1 gorilla internets for you sir
Hello all. I was member dolce davinci until I asked to get my account closed. the reason I wanted it closed was to get away from xda.
My deal with mycomouterisjunk left me with a broken one s. HTC charged me to get blackrain1983s amaze fixed ( thankfully he is covering half the cost ). both deals are solved but I am left with a damage phone and my bank account in overdraft.
And the bummer of all, usps denied my insurance claim on the one s.
My reason of making this thread is to ask for donations. please, what ever you have will be appreciated . the LCD for the one s is $160, I am not asking for the whole thing but any little monies will help.
I still don't have a phone, I am using black rains amaze untill I ship it in a couple days. some members offered to donate phones but since i closed my account that didn't happen.
I know u guys might want proof that I am DOLCEDAVINCI and I will post some later, we still have a power outage in the DMV and I am on a phone.

Wrong section either way bro.
Why did HTC deny your warranty on the Amaze? What did they say was actually wrong with it? Water damage?

Did I miss an election where you were appointed to be a spokesperson for all forum members?
Well here's how I see it:
You sent the Amaze to the guy and he said it was bricked. HTC did NOT honor the warranty meaning there was something wrong with it like water damage or dropped or something. Then the One S arrives to the other dude with a cracked screen. Both deals looked kinda shady. And it should not cost that much to fix an LCD/Digitizer/screen assembly at a 3rd party store, maybe at HTC it would be that, check around bro. Also, you said blackrain was going half on you with the Amaze right? so you're not out TOO much. I say sell the One S and buy a cheaper device, or trade it for a Sensation or something as-is if you can.
You then ask to have your account disabled because you want to steer clear of XDA, but create a NEW account to ask for donations for deals that looked shady that you're already getting half for on one? That is serious nuts dude.
"I want to stay away from this site, but changed my mind to come ask for donations because of my bad decisions"
That's just unsavory bro.
And yeah I might be coming off as heartless, but I did donate to jcash and I do help out when it seems warranted.
Just my opinion, you can think on it or chew it over or throw it away or whatever.

"Who gives a f***?" can actually mean that the person who said doesn't actually care and not necessarily implying that NO ONE cares, although that implication is also a valid interpretation, so the possibility exists he meant only to communicate (quite emphatically and bluntly might I add) that HE does not actually care and did not mean to infer that no one on the boards actually cares.
I am still battling it out with HTC. I had my card on file from when I wanted to get a replacement battery but that doesn't give them the right to charge me. everything went like it was supposed to be fixed free because they didn't even alert me through email but there is a hold in my account pending removal from HTC USA for 249.99.
after long aruing through email, black rain sent me $140 but out of that I still have to send the amaze to Jordan with express ( or else there will be no tracking ). I am not asking donations for HTC repair cost. I am trying to get to get rid of it . hopefully its an error because when I track my repair status it doesn't show any update.
I posted here because I can't see the market.

Just call HTC and ask if you're being charged or not, sounds like you're not even being charged.
With the shipping to Jordan, find out from blackrain if no tracking is ok, or work something out, maybe he'll help for shipping (since he agree to pay half the repair cost that may not even be charged).
It sounds like you can work this all out so you have a phone and everyone is happy without having to solicit donations here, the fact that you don't want to be on XDA but came back just to ask for donations looks bad too.
HTC wouldn't just charge you for ****s and giggles. I remember my sister broke my N1 and was hoping they would just replace it since they already had to replace the screen twice for faulty hardware. Well they decided I would have to pay for it and they sent me multiple emails and even a certified letter until I responded.
For legal reasons, they won't charge you without documentation of you agreeing to the costs and terms. They might put a HOLD, but they won't charge you. I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend once at a hotel I was not staying at and they put a hold for $100 on my account, but only ended up charging me the actual cost (something like $40-something).
You can just go to your bank and tell them you didn't authorize it. They will remove the hold while they investigate.
Problem solved.
Now can a mod please close this pathetic thread.

Hello,
first of all I'm sorry If you have seen a thread like this before but I want to try and take a different approach.
I wanted to buy this phone but I read countless posts reporting they have hairline scratches without even dropping their phone.
There was even one or two that got them even though their phone was in a case!
Also:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/2...-idea-since-the-last-phone-with-a-glass-back/
It kind of really seems to be an issue...
What I wanted to ask did anyone try to deliberately reproduce this? Or can anyone prove that this really happens?
I mean if the phone breaks with regular use without even dropping it it would be one hell of a dealbreaker...
Any rich guy/reviewer wants to run a few benchmarks/games and put it on a cold surface in a room and see what happens?
And please refrain from comparing to iPhone 4/4s I think people have seen enough droptests it would be really interesting to see if this actually happens or not...
1. why would someone try to reproduce it until it's a demo unit given to them by Google which I guess will be a rarity considering they are on back order
2. it happened to my friend and as of now he is waiting for the replacements back to arrive on fleebay
3. you posted in the wrong section

Wow simple to the point. I like it
it wouldnt be a temperature shift from cold to hot, it would be from getting too hot and expanding when the glass was put in too tightly
I hit my Nexus 4 with a hammer and the screen broke. LG better fix it as this is a defect.

Sorry I don't post very often so I'm not so familiar to the sections, if a moderator reads it please move it.
As to your questions maybe you didn't read my post or are simply uninformed. There were already enough Droptests, there are already people who have a defect phone some of them deemed unreparable. Also a lot of people got a review units. Heck there is even a guy on youtube who buys devices with his own money and breaks them in durability tests. If you question why people would do it don't ask me but I reckon someone who would do a droptest or whack their phone with a sledgehammer might be willing to try this.
Sorry for being so dumb to think people who deliberately destroy a phone would maybe be willing to deliberatly get a hairline crack.
Long story short there are plenty of people who could try it out.
meh nvm why are ppl always so offensive...

drop tests are easy to do, recreating something like this won't be easy at all dude and not sure if someone on xda will risk his device like that as the replacement backs are not yet available anywhere. also there is enough proof already that this happens and has happened to a lot of peoplel. so it happens but no one knows why.

If this is the wrong place to post this I apologize and please let me know where to post or kindly move the post.
Long and short no device protection plan at all. Looking for someone experienced from the community to replace the display. Looks like the glass isn't broken. It looks like the LCD/digitizer died. Phone fell (in case). Doesn't light up at all except for the flashlight but appears to turn on etc. power button is a bit mangle as well. If someone can give me an idea where to look or a ball park price I'd be grateful.
I've looked online and I do not have the skill to try this one myself.

Well, to start with you may get more helpful replies if you put your location and carrier in your profile, making them visible so people know where you're from rather than saying "thanks, but I'm not from the UK".
I meant no disrespect to anyone. I'm in the us (Pennsylvania). Phone was direct from Google/Huawei and was being used on att.
Thanks for suggesting I add that info. I didn't think about it.

It's cool.. none taken! There's no harm in putting your home town in your profile. There are a LOT of ppl on XDA and someone may know a good local repair shop in your immediate area. Best of luck.
Order the lcd and try the repair yourself, the hardest part is opening the thing, when mine broke, i ordered the lcd and a new housing which came with everything i needed, once it is opened the swapping of stuff over was the easy part, but as i was replacing the the lcd and housing, i didnt mind damaging the existing housing to get the thing apart, and when i was finished i had a brand new looking phone and only took around an hour or so to do it, youtube has some good videos on it. A new housing isnt expensive and you can learn a bit about your phone aswell. i made mine into a black and silver version. lol
